Read previewA professor fired for his anti-Zionist beliefs was unfairly dismissed, an employment tribunal ruled on Monday. Miller claimed that the university unfairly and discriminatorily mistreated him during the course of the procedures, which ultimately resulted in his dismissal. The employment tribunal said in its 108-page ruling on Monday that Miller had been wrongfully fired and had been subjected to prejudice because of his philosophical beliefs in violation of the UK's Equality Act 2010. The Union of Jewish Students, which represents Jewish societies at UK universities, said in a statement that it is "disappointed" by the judgment which it said would "ultimately make Jewish students less safe."
